Jeff Hollobaugh has written a nice feature of Sisson for TFN. Definitely worth checking out but this may be the most newsworthy aspect of it.
“That was definitely a hard one because I was just so new to the marathon, I didn’t really understand what went wrong,” she recalls. “And that to me is what I kind of struggled with to grasp. I do believe that Ray is correct and that that course doesn’t suit me.
“But I don’t want to buy into the narrative that I can’t ever run hilly courses. Because I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t believe it is. I could be wrong, but I don’t believe it. I remember Ray saying once that he thought I can run hilly courses, I just need flat stretches of road to recover in between.”
In the piece, she doees admit that she saw a halway split in Chicago but still had no idea wha her time was or place was until she finished. She thought she might have slowed down.
